The Columbia Avenue Complete Streets Project is moving along as scheduled.

“I am happy to announce that we are within two days of our projected schedule and things are progressing even with the curve balls Mother Nature has thrown at us,” said Stephanie Pelletier, Marwest Industries communications coordinator.
